Madagascar

Madagascar, an island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa, is a haven for explorers seeking extraordinary biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes. Home to unique species like lemurs, chameleons, and towering baobab trees, the island offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness nature found nowhere else on Earth. The iconic Avenue of the Baobabs and the lush rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park are just some of the highlights that showcase Madagascar’s unparalleled beauty.

Beyond its natural wonders, Madagascar boasts a rich cultural heritage. In Antananarivo, the bustling capital, vibrant markets and historic sites invite exploration, while the local cuisine, influenced by African, Asian, and French traditions, delights the palate. Coastal gems like Nosy Be and Île Sainte-Marie offer pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkelling, diving, or simply unwinding in paradise.

Please note that the estimated temperature, rainfall and recommended months of when to go are based on Antananarivo’s weather patterns
